banned with my bike from daughter's school

I IMO, the school run is not only socialising the bad drivers of tomorrow, it's also teaching attitudes some of us would aspire to avoid: the devil-take-the-hindmost/ might-is-right/me-first/they-can't-touch-you-for-it society.

School run drivers are not necessarily bad drivers and in any case if a parent is a bad driver they will socialise their children into bad habits whenever driving with them in the car.

How does the act of driving children to school teach the attitudes you describe? It depends on the character, views and even politics of the parents not on how they transport their children to school.
